Perhaps I shouldn't comment, since I had some conflicts with Joerg, but just this one observation. To this day, I struggle with my own lack of tact, I'm just not good at coming across well. That's my problem, noone taught me that, noone encourages me to be impolite, it's mine, and I own it. If I don't keep it under control then I lose access to mailing lists, forums, what have you. Joerg was warned and sadly couldn't or wouldn't tone down his interactions on the list. It's a bummer, because he does have things to add to the conversation. But some of his contributions caused people to leave the list. Keep that in mind, we lost people and that's never good. I'm not sure how any formal process would have had a different outcome and, as khm says, the informal process was identical to the proposed formal process. --lm
